The GAZETTE is now the Oldest paper ia
the State, and with few exceptions the old.
est in the country, and its usefulness has
been demonstrated and appreciated during
the EIGHTY SEVEN YEARS ofits existence. In
its columns has always been found mirror
of passing events, and the careful chroni-
cling of the history ofwhat ia going on in the
world has ever been its aim. 1t is ALWAYS
welcomed in the household, while in the
counting room and workshop it has become
invaluable.
The GAZETTE has better facilities for OBJ
tanning news than any paper outside of the
national capital. Situated as it is so close
to the great centre OF news, it enjoys daily
the benefit of the Associated Press dis.
patches from every part ofthe world hence
Its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpired that day in
every portion of our own domain as we'll as
from every part of the habitable globe
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa.
pers.
The local department furnishes full and
complete history of everything that occurs
and near the city, and this feature will.
as ever, receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich.
mond and every section of theState, is pub
lished regularly, and all events of interest
occurring within the bounds of the Com.
monwealth are to be found in the columns
of the GAZETTE.
The GAzETrE's circulation is steadily in
creasing, especially among people who con.
suit its advertising columns before purchas.
ing. That this is selfeyident may be infer.
red from the fact that a largo country edi-
tion-nearly as large as the daily--is sent
all over this section OF country three times
a week, and is read by thousands, most of
whom send here or to contiguous cities to
make purchases. The advantages of ad.
in the GAZETTE are, therefore, ap-
iarent.

The Mormon Church

ST. Louis, Mo. August 10 The Globe
Democrat prints o sensational story
about the blood successor of Joseph
Smith, of the Mormon Church. that has
the mark OF a romance, but lacks con-
firmatlon. About twenty.fi years ago
the little town of Nauvoo, H.. the head
quarters of the Mormon Church of the
Mississippi Valley, was startled by a
story In which Joseph Smith, in 1912
figured as the lover OF dashing English
maiden CT wealthy family, believing ia
Mormonism, and who were travelling in
America.
The Prophet wished to take the girl ss
his spiritual wife, and she consented,
with the condition that If she bore a son
he, in the fulness of time, should become
the head of the Mormon Church. The
child was born ,Snd from fear of foul play
from the other children of the Smith
family, the mother and child hastened to
England, and there educated the child in
Cambridge University, proper credentials
having been given to secure all rights.
The story is now being published by LIE
Baron Havington, Q man of note in the
Mormon Church at Salt Lake City, for
the purpose, II is thought, OF iDjuring the
prospects Of ambitious Smiths of the pre-
sent day, and perhaps with the intention
of springing the central figure of the
story, who would now be forty-fve year
old, before the Church as a claimant to
the head.
DR.. George Hall, of ST.. Louis, and Mr.
Crawford, of Hancock, ILL.,. claim to bt
the only ones who know of the origin o.
the story, and they pronounce 1t q myth
1t is reported that the story was concoc
ted twenty-five years ago in DIR. Hall'I
office to his knowledge, but not by him
he claims TO have ample evidence in hi
possession to prove the whole thing {
myth.

House, In this city. has instituted suit
against the Central Railroad Company,
Of New jersey, for assault and false
arrest. He bought q ticket at the New

formed By the agent that the train

took the next train that went out. It
ives traiu that did not stop 81 Lafa

Mr.. Brindley get Off at jackson street,

resisted and the offic gave 1t mp. but
demanded ten cents for the fare to
Jersey City. Mr.. Brindley would not
pay 1t, and when the train got to Jersey
City be was arraeted, but after forty
minutes he was released and given .
ticket for I,sfay ette, being told that
it was too busy o day to bother over
such small 10 after.

Inspecting the Firemen.

The old way of inspecting the Fire De-
partment, by the Fire Committee and in
vited guests visiting the different engine
houses in the evening, and receiving the
report of the condition of the apparatus
and hose from the officers of each COM
pany, has proved very unsatisfactory, as
the general impression was that the COM
mittee knew no more about the actual
condition of a company after an inspec.
tion than they did before it came off.
